Transfer, change (trains) in Japanese 🇯🇵

のりかえ info.

のりかえ (norikae)

### Tips to Remember the Japanese Word:
1. Associate "のり" (nori) with getting on or riding (such as getting on a train).
2. "かえ" (kae) can be remembered from the verb "かえる" (kaeru), which means to change. So, you can think of it as "change riding."

### Explanations:
– のりかえ (norikae) specifically refers to the act of transferring or switching from one train to another.
– The term also can refer to changing buses or other forms of transportation.

### Other Words That Mean the Same Thing:
– 乗り換える (のりかえる, norikaeru): This is the verb form, meaning "to transfer" or "to switch" between transportation modes.
– 乗り継ぎ (のりつぎ, noritsugi): Another term for transfer, often used with airline travel but can apply to trains as well.
– 移動 (いどう, idou): This means "to move," more general than transferring but can sometimes be used in context.

### Alternate Meanings and Slang:
– In more abstract contexts, のりかえ can mean switching preferences or choices, like moving from one brand to another.
– No common slang usage for のりかえ, it remains pretty literal even in informal conversations.
